Default Friendliest Town?

All right so my wife in a car and another motorist in a car had a little stand off as to who should go first around a parked truck on the road. Right out in front of our house. The guy was in a hurry and did not want to wait. They were car to car. The nice fellow with his wife in the passenger seat goes around on the grass roles down his window and yells to my wife get the F out of the way or I am going to Fing Kill you.
My wife was so shaken she did not get the license plate number or come in and get me.
That was not very Friendly.
PS if the guy reads this and wants to discuss how rude my wife was to hold you up 3 seconds please PM me

Obviously, this was uncalled for. However, there are rules of the road that govern who should proceed first (the person with the lane/side that is NOT blocked goes first). If people follow the rules, there is much less conflict. So, which vehicle was driving on the opposite side of the road to go around?

That guy was a real romantic, huh?!

I know what I would’ve done but then again, I’m not letting a couple of tool bags come between me and my liberty (ie; jail). That said, hopefully you or your neighbors have decent Ring cameras that can identify the individuals or their plate information. If it played out the way you described, the threat alone is a criminal matter. You could file a police report but without those details, it’s not going to bear much fruit.

So the jerk was wrong on 2 counts. Don't judge Villagers by one moron. (Or those from the Northeast either)

I agree.

If it was a pickup truck, chances are it wasn’t a Villager… although a few do own pick ups but not many.

Not correct...
Unless you moonlight as a gate attendant, you couldn't possibly say that with any certainty.

Don’t mean it was bubble person, lots of locals zip through villages? Odds are it was?


Lots of crazy medicated/doped up people out there. Then, there ones that are just crazy and need medicated . They was crazy where came from and villages didn’t magically cure them. Top it off most don’t know how do 4 way stop. You got stop before you’re in line and guy on right has right of way. Another problem when two from opposite direction meet at intersection at same time and one turning?

It ended with a question mark, so imho the title was merely asking, "Wazup?

Maybe this will make the OP feel better.
Just this morning I was futzing around in the driveway, getting things in order for my snowbird departure.
A neighbor, 5 doors down, whom I had never met pulls up in his golf cart and says "I noticed you couldn't get to the top of your holly bush when you and your wife were trimming. I have an 8-foot ladder. Would you like to borrow it?"

Sure, so we go back to his place, get the ladder, set it up and he looks at me and says "are you comfortable with ladders?" I said "not totally but I have never fallen off one, yet", so he says "here, I'll do it. I've spent most of my life on ladders", so he proceeds to trim the top of the holly bush for me.

My neighbor's name is Larry. He's a nice man. For every jerk like the guy in the OP, there are dozens and dozens of Larrys in TV.

Take a few deep breaths, and be thankful to live here, with all of the Larrys.
